6/10/09: Beta = 78.9 (Based on what I've been told, so talk to your own doctor about this, the beta level, i.e., the amount of "pregnancy hormone" in your blood, should double every 48-72 hours for the first few weeks of pregnancy).

Next blood work & ultrasound: 6/19/09_____________________________I spoke with my nurse this afternoon who agreed that it was good news that we were basically ruling out an ectopic, and that if the beta had not appreciably risen or lowered by Friday, that the doctor would want to discuss a D&C (scheduling it for Monday).

TMI ALERT:The TP Tango is showing some brown-colored discharge. It seems like I'm going to start my period soon. My nurse said to be sure to mention that to the doc as they would likely hold back on intervening if it looked like my body was going to take care of this naturally.

Here from L&F -- just wanted to let you know how sorry I am. My only assvice is that if you "do this on your own," that they follow your hcg level back down to make sure nothing sticks around in your uterus.

I'm also really sorry about your lack of support right now. I hope the internet can at least lend you a shoulder and some support right now. Take great care.
